Yield Makes 4 snack servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil for brushing
1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons sake or dry Sherry
2 teaspoons sugar
3 bunches large scallions
1 lb skinless boneless chicken thighs (about 3), cut into 1-inch pieces
Special Equipment
12 (8-inch) wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Line bottom of a broiler pan with foil and cover with rack. Lightly brush rack with oil.
  • Bring mirin, soy sauce, sake, and sugar to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil, uncovered, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce in a small bowl for brushing after skewers are cooked.
  • Cut white and pale green parts of scallions crosswise into 1 1/2-inch pieces (reserve scallion greens for another use).
  • Cook scallions in a 2-quart saucepan of boiling (unsalted) water 1 minute, then drain in a colander. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain, then pat scallions dry with paper towels.
  • Preheat broiler. Thread 1 skewer alternately with chicken and scallions, using 3 pieces of each and piercing scallions crosswise through center. Place skewer on rack of broiler pan, then brush both sides generously with sauce. Repeat with remaining skewers, arranging all skewers in same direction. (You may have some chicken and scallion pieces left over.)
  • Cover exposed skewers (but not chicken or scallions) with a strip of foil to prevent scorching.
  • Broil skewers 4 to 6 inches from heat until chicken is slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Remove foil and brush both sides with more sauce, then turn skewers over and replace foil. Broil until other side of chicken is slightly charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes more.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Just before serving, coat skewers with reserved sauce using cleaned brush.

CHICKEN AND SCALLION SKEWERS



Chicken and Scallion Skewers image

A little pre-holiday cleaning has me tossing out stacks of cooking magazines. Rather than tearing out the recipes and creating small stacks to replace the large ones, I'm typing them up and keeping them here for safekeeping. This recipe is inspired by the cuisine of Korea and appeared in a very old issue of Eating Well magazine - a stylized hybrid of Cooking Light and Bon Appettit. Note that the cooking time does not include 6 to 24 hours for marinating the chicken.

Time 26m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 (8 inch) bamboo skewers
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
16 scallions
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce (regular will make this too salty)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely grated ginger (measure after grating)
1 tablespoon ground toasted sesame seeds (measure after grounding)
1 tablespoon honey (any variety works)
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 pinch red pepper flakes
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place 12 bamboo skewers in warm water for 30 minutes.
  • Mix together all the the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into long strips, about 8 per breast half.
  • Trim the scallions into 1 1/2 long pieces.
  • Thread the chicken and scallions on the bamboo skewers with the scallion being pierced so that it runs long vertical across the length of the skewer.
  • Place kebobs in a 9 by 13 inch baking dish and pour two-thirds of the marinade over the chicken. Cover with foil and place in the icebox for 6 to 24 hours, turning occasionally. (The frequency depends on how long you plan to marinade the meat.).
  • To cook, place the kebobs on an indoor or outdoor grill and cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side. Brush the kebobs with reserved marinade while cooking.
  • This serves 6 as a main course but works well as an appetizer.

CHICKEN AND SCALLION SKEWERS



Chicken and Scallion Skewers image

In Tokyo, these savory skewers are made with Japanese leeks, called negi, which are thinner and more tender than Western leeks. Here they are substituted with scallions, since they have a similar sweetness and are more readily available. Sauce can be made 2 days ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered. From...

3 Tbsp sake (or dry sherry)
2 tsp sugar
3 bunch large scallions
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 3), cut into 1-inch pieces
8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

  • 9. Cover exposed skewers (but not chicken or scallions) with a strip of foil to prevent scorching.
  • 10. Broil skewers 4 to 6 inches from heat until chicken is slightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  • 11. Remove foil and brush both sides with more sauce, then turn skewers over and replace foil. Broil until other side of chicken is slightly charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes more.

  • 14. Note: Skewers can be assembled, but not brushed with sauce, 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Brush with sauce before broiling as directed.

Tips:

  • For tender and juicy chicken skewers, choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
  • Marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use wooden or metal skewers for grilling. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Skewer the chicken pieces and scallions alternately, leaving a little space between each piece.
  • Grill the skewers over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through and the scallions are slightly charred.
  • Serve the skewers with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as soy sauce, hoisin sauce, or peanut sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken and scallion skewers are a quick and easy weeknight meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the scallions add a delicious savory flavor. Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
